Cholera outbreak in flood-hit Pakistan

The worst floods in living memory in Pakistan have killed over 1300 people and left tens of thousands stranded or homeless. "Massive devastation has been reported in Swat and Shangla, where link bridges and thousands of houses were washed away," report the Associated Press of Pakistan.

Pakistan's climate is dominated by a seasonal wind reversal called the Asiatic monsoon. In late June, the monsoon winds reverse direction - from northeast to southwest - bringing a hot and rainy season which lasts until early October.

The flooding in Pakistan is a calamity. It seems that very few states are committing aid. Why doesn't India rush in to save those poor souls? I wish I knew what I could do to help. Does anyone know where to donate funds?
